Some nice things people said about me

I had the pleasure of working with Octavian at Potato. I was always impressed with his ability to immerse himself in the multitude of tasks presented to him. His high standards drive Octavian's attention to detail and his focus for excellence. On a personal note, he is always confident, courteous, and a pleasure to work alongside"

Raymond Manookian

Experience Design Director at Zone, London
Octavian isn’t afraid to challenge himself or the brief right in front of him. He knows how to design to a high standard without losing sight of the end user for that digital experience. Octavian has contributed a lot to the team dynamics and produced some solid design work in the process.”

Ashley Humprey

Global Experience Manager, Fidelity International, London UK
Hardworking is the word that comes to mind when I think about Octavian. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Octavian for the past year, during which he worked within my team supporting a number of key UX/UI initiatives from designing a career progression portal, internal dashboards to microsites."

Sophie Trew

Global Digital Experience Lead, Fidelity International, London, UK
Octavian is a great creative! He takes time and care to understand the brief and always exceeds expectations in terms of output. He is a focused and diligent team member and an all-round pleasure to work with!"

Holly Cowan

Director, Technology & Innovation (EMEA) at Landor, London, UK

Questions I get asked a lot...

What kind of designer are you?

I'm a product designer with a 60% visual/UI and 40% UX split. Over the years I've designed and delivered digital experiences and services from startups to big corporates that pivot the user experience and visual design.

Can you work at pace in agile sprint cycles and under pressure?

Morning stand-ups, sprint reviews. A backlog longer than your weekly shopping? We've all been there. I love the hustle.

Are you familiar working within established design systems and brand guidelines?

Freedom is great! But with all large scale projects consistency is key. I've worked within the constraints of a design system and also built design systems from scratch.

Are you comfortable with the responsibility that comes with leading a project?

I take responsibility for delivering timely and quality results with focus on user experience and design aesthetics. With plenty of experience that makes me confident to take the lead and work end to end from workshopping through to prototyping and delivery, working closely with all the stakeholders along the way.

Do you know how to code?

While I'm not a developer I know how the web works. I've worked with the engineering and QA teams, built websites using tools like Webflow making me comfortable talking to developers on a technical level.
